Washington Capitals vs Edmonton Oilers prediction

The capitals are fighting hard to get into the playoff zone and there are fewer and fewer matches already in the regular season. Washington does not miss a lot during this period of the regular season and has become more stable in defense, four goals have been conceded from the bottom in the last three games. I expect them to play solid defense, the team needs points very much.

The Oilers are on the fifth line in the Western Conference, they rarely miss much from non-top teams in the league playing on their ice. Their new coach began to focus on defense already on the eve of the relegation matches. Edmonton does not allow the opponent to throw a lot at their goal and most often control the game themselves.
